Lisburn Cathedral Vicar, the Rev Kenneth McGrath and congregation members Michael Johnston, David Brattle, Jennifer Neill and the Rector's son Michael Wright braved perilous heights, cold winds and being photographed from unflattering angles to walk down the front of the Europa Hotel, Belfast hanging onto a rope to raise money for the church building fund. Five went up and thankfully five came down safely with the Vicar achieving the fastest time of just 1minute and 8 seconds.

The team remind members of the congregation and their friends that if anyone has not sponsored them yet that it still not to late to do so - sponsorship forms are available at the church.
